Ebola Preparedness and Response

October 21, 2014

Many members are rightly concerned about the possibility of a potential Ebola outbreak in the United States. Given emerging information about the disease and how the disease is spread, it is important that members consult with health officials, both locally and nationally.

In addition, the Authority recommends that your agency be well prepared in the event of an outbreak. Agencies should also review communication plans in anticipation of a need to communicate emergency response information to their communities.
